Whoa! New Haven's Romeo Weems picks DePaul over Michigan, Michigan State

New Haven basketball star Romeo Weems made his collegiate decision on Tuesday.

And, boy, was it a stunner.

Weems, the top-ranked recruit in Michigan in the 2019 class per 247Sports Composite, committed to DePaul, choosing the Blue Demons over Michigan and Michigan State. Oregon and Ohio State also were finalists for the four-star power forward.

Weems, 6-foot-7, joins Benton Harbor's Wilson Chandler (2005) as No. 1 prospects in Michigan to spurn the instate schools and choose DePaul, a Big East school that finished 11-20 last season.
